Veggie patties

Makes 6 decent size patties but I haven’t put how many they serve because it depends on how big or how small you make them.

Prep time: 10 minutes / Cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 large onion, finely chopped A slosh of Worcestershire sauce1 x 400 g can lentils, drained I use whatever colour1 x 400 g can chickpeas, drained and pureed3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley1 egg28g day-old breadcrumbs (5) (I am going to try mushing some of the chickpeas coarsely and replacing the breadcrunbs with these to make these completely syn free and see how they hold together).2 carrots, gratedolive oil spray

Method

Dry fry the onion (bit of water and the Worcestershire Sauce) in a frying pan for 6-7 minutes or until they’ve softened and allow to cool. In a large bowl combine the rest of the ingredients, then blend in the cooked onions. Firmly press to form into patties. Place the patties in the frying pan and use the oil spray to lightly fry until brown.

OPTIONS:

Add in1 tablespoon tandoori powder (Indian) or some Ras Al Hanut (Moroccan) to the mix for a bit of spice.

Courgettes can be a nice addition just make sure you let them drain properly or they can make the patties soggy.

Nice to serve with Natural yogurt dip …which depending on what you put in as herbs and spices you can add to…like a bit of tandoori paste or garlic or sweet chilli or preserved lemon…..only your imagination limits you!!
